Chad Weinman, CEO of TacticalGear.com of Chesterfield, Missouri, told CNN that he believed his firm sold items to shooting suspect James Holmes.
The company checked its records after employees heard about the shooting and found a receipt matching Holmes’ name and his Aurora, Colorado, address, Weinman said.
The receipt showed that Holmes bought an $106.99 Blackhawk urban assault vest, a $52.99 Blackhawk Omega Elite triple pistol magazine, a $52.99 Blackhawk Omega Elite M16 magazine pouch, and a $77.99 Blackhawk Be-Wharned silver knife.
With shipping costs, the total bill came to $306.99, according to a copy of the receipt provided to CNN
And the truth starts to emerge from the fog.
